Ellie Jordan's job is to catch and remove unwanted ghosts. Part detective, part paranormal exterminator, Ellie operates out of Savannah, Georgia - the most haunted city in the United States. When a family contacts her to deal with a disturbing presence in the old mansion they've recently purchased, Ellie first believes it to be a typical, by-the-book specter, a residual haunting by a restless spirit. Instead she finds herself confronting an evil that is older and more powerful than she'd ever expected.

Marnie's first big FBI case ended with a bullet in one shoulder and a chip on the other, a queasy heart and a serial killer in the wind, leaving her a public flop and a private wreck. When the FBI's preternatural crimes unit tracks her down at a remote mountain lodge for her insight on a local case, her quiet retirement is promptly besieged by a stab-happy starlet, a rampaging ghoul, and a vampire-hunting jackass in tight Wranglers. Marnie figures the only real mystery is which one will kill her first.

Daniel is desperate for a job. When someone slides a note under his door offering him the groundskeeper’s position at an old estate, it seems too good to be true. Alarm bells start ringing when he arrives at Craven Manor. The mansion’s front door hangs open, and leaves and cobwebs coat the marble foyer. It’s clear no one has lived there in a long time. But an envelope waits for him inside the doorway. It contains money and promises more.

A small number of cameras have the ability to capture ghosts on film. This gift comes at a steep price; the ghosts are resentful and hungry, and the cameras offer them a rare chance to reach their favourite prey... humans. Jenine doesn't know any of this when she finds an abandoned Polaroid camera in a lighthouse. At first she assumes the ghostly shapes in the photos are a glitch or a prank - but then the spirits begin to hunt her down, and she's forced into a deadly race to free herself from the camera's curse.

They never came back to pack up their furniture. A new occupant, Anna, has just moved in. I paid her a visit to warn her about the building. I didn't expect us to become friends, but we did.

Publisher's Summary

Paranormal investigator Ellie Jordan faces a difficult new case. Her new clients are a family haunted by multiple ghosts and a poltergeist that wrecks their home at night. Their seven-year-old son's invisible friends may not be imaginary at all but the restless spirits of dead children. To clear her clients' house of the dangerous entities, Ellie must unravel the mysterious deaths of another family who lived in the old mansion more than 160 years ago, and she must do it before the ghosts can carry out their malevolent designs on her clients and their children.

Enjoyable!

This is such an enjoyable series. Yea, Yea, it does have a basic format that does not change and the story is predictable.

The history of this haunted house is interesting. Stacey -- Ellie's spunky and optimistic sidekick, is still naïve. She has a persistent desire to be in the thick of things never realizing that the truck is the best location to see ghost and stay unharmed.

We learn more about each character which adds to our enjoyment and a bonding of the characters. The motivation for the characters to chase ghost add to the enjoyment of the story.

Ellie's world is getting more exciting

These books are definitely not boring, but not too scary as long as you don't listen to them when you're alone late at night. It seems like we might get some romance in the coming stories. I do wish the main plot it the series had moved forward in this book, but it was barely mentioned.

Getting better!

The story gripped me from the beginning. I listened completely enraptured by the story and where it was going, and i was truly disappointed when it reached the end, not because the story was bad, but because it was over! i want more and can't wait to hear more about Ellie and her ghost hunting whodunits. Excellent!

another great book in the Ghost Trapper series

First this book was another great read. I really enjoy the ghost trapper series. This book has the same great characters as the first novel in the series. The author keeps us on the edge of our seats by her graphic descriptions of the ghosts. Love this series I will be reading the next.

keeps getting better and better, off to book three

I'm downloading book three as I write this!!! love these books, I'm still looking around the house for creepy crawlies, I was at the end of the book and my dog started growling at a shadow, I about peed my pants before I got up enough courage to go turn on a whole bunch of lights hallway, living room and more than one in the kitchen, where I was sitting crocheting haha Great books!!! Perfect amount of horror and humor!!
